The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

Elisabeth Elliot

Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?

One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
